Rocky, weather you realize it or not, You really helped me with reloading ammo. I was having some issues reloading / resizing the 357 caes into 256. Then I remembered you telling me when I was reloading the 22 hornet, don't use so much lube, as that will cause the case to crush at the shoulder. Just little hints that you gave me, came back to my memory, and I stopped what I was doing, and rectified the problem. I really miss your web page, Rocky's reloading room. Thank you for all your help over the years. I keep little notes of things, from what you and my dad have taught me. Sometimes, people don't realize how much they help out us other guys, with their experience and knowledge. Oakie

  Annealing is your friend. Rarely is straight walled pistol brass annealed. Annealing will soften the brass, while working it hardens it. Hope this helps.

  I too miss Rockys website.

  I just bought an annealing machine for 285.00 bucks. Not the most expensive machine, but I don't see myself using it a whole lot. It should be here this week.
